Have you tested the SuperShelter? Are you bringing along anything else for bottom insulation? I'd be surprised if the SS alone keeps you warm for mid-March temps...but that's another thread!

“Republics are created by the virtue, public spirit, and intelligence of the citizens. They fall when the wise are banished from the public councils because they dare to be honest, and the profligate are rewarded because they flatter the people, in order to betray them.” ~Judge Joseph Story

If your pack can afford the space, toss in a 3/4 length CCF pad, $7 at wally world. Worst case you can send it home or hiker box it if you find you don't need it. Should you be afraid? dunno, this is one of those subjects that is YMMV
I'm going April 1st or there abouts with a JRB Nest, CCF pad and a 30 degree bag. With this combo I've been down to 20 degrees (16 w/wind chill) now with no problem.

Get out and test it out for a night or two, I was worried about my 'cold weather setup' until I got out and tested it for myself.

name:Gray
trail name: Fat Man Walkingtrail:
AT: NOBO starting at Daleville, VA heading up to Swift Run Gap, SNP.
Start Date: Either last week of July & First week of August or Last week of August & First week of September
type of hammock: HH Ultralite Explorer Asym.

Going when I do, I know that it will be cooler (55 tp 65) in the higher elevations and that I won't need a whole lot of extra insulation but, I am trying to get my arms around just exactly what I will need.

Right now I am thinking about just the under cover and underpad but am wondering if I may need more. I will be a virgin hanger this trip.

Have had a very restful nap in the back yard already on one of our warmer days with only the hammock.
